Happy Independence Day America, July 4, 2008

I haven’t posted in a while, so I wanted to post a couple of patriotic pictures to say Happy Birthday America on the day we celebrate the signing of The Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson and signed on July 4, 1776.

I saw your post (or someone using your website’s URL) on Israelism.com
I agree with you. Contrary to Jim from Iowa’s response, there was nothing hateful or racist in your post. Living in Israel doesn’t mean you have a backbone. (Although to be fair his daughters do serve in the army. But it’s become clear that bravery on the battle field seldom translates into bravery at the negotiation table. Sharon was a fine military man, but a horrible politician.)
Be angry with Israelisms if you want. Listen or don’t. But they will not change. They hate charedi and they don’t want to change. Accept it and move on.

@DrumIntellect Yes, I did post a comment on Israelisms.com which was posted at: (http://www.israelisms.com/index.php?post_id=362437&comments=on). Thank you for your support. I was not tempted by Jim from Iowa’s bait. Any rational person could see that my post was not even remotely racist.
I just wanted to let Charlie and Carol know that the opinions they espoused in their podcasts had a flip side and were not infallible.
I still hold out hope that Carol and maybe their daughters will open their eyes, but Charlie’s constant dismissal of anything even remotely sympathetic to the conservative point of view cannot be left unchallenged.
I am no where near as righteous as most Charedi, as I’ve made a few wrong turns in my life, but I am slowly changing course and moving toward a more observant bearing. While I wouldn’t expect them to inspire any major change perhaps my comments will at least remind other listeners to their podcast that not everyone agrees with Charlie’s radical left spin.
